Samsung readies for Android Nougat beta test for Galaxy S7

It looks as if the beginnings of Samsung’s Android Nougat roll-out for its flagship Galaxy S7 range could be just around the corner, with a keen-eyed S7 user spotting the Galaxy Beta program app appearing on Samsung’s Galaxy Apps store.

The app has been available before, but it’s been updated this morning to note that Android 7.0 Nougat is on the way. This might have snuck out a bit prematurely, because there’s now an error when trying to access this. We’ve been unable to get it to work as well.

To see if you can access it, you can search on the Galaxy Apps store for ‘Galaxy beta program’. Alternatively, hit this link on your Samsung S7 or S7 Edge and try your luck.
